Than 1000 International Scientists Dissent Over Man-Made Global ...

In 2010, more than 260 scientists who are members of the American Physical
Society (APS) endorsed the efforts of skeptical Princeton University Physicist Dr.
Will Happer to substantially amend the APS alarmist statement on man-made
global warming. Happer; who testified to Congress that the Earth in 'CO2 Famine',
initially led a group of 80 prominent physicists in 2009 who petitioned the APS revise its
global warming position. The 54 physicists wrote to APS governing board: ―Measured or
reconstructed temperature records indicate that 20th - 21st century changes are neither
exceptional nor persistent, and the historical and geological records show many periods
warmer than today.‖
The peer-reviewed journal Nature published a July 22, 2009 letter by the physicists
persuading the APS to review its statement. In 2008, an American Physical Society editor
conceded that a ―considerable presence‖ of scientific skeptics exists. The 54 physicists
grew to over 260 in 2010 with another open letter to APS. Below is the most current list
of signatories expressing dissent from the APS current climate statement. (Note, the list
of signatories below includes several new scientists not reflected in the weblink)
Regarding the National Policy Statement on Climate Change of the APS Council: A
Petition to the Council of the American Physical Society
"As current and past members of the American Physical Society, we the undersigned
petition the APS Council to commission an independent, objective study and assessment
of the science relating to the question of anthropogenic global warming. The assessment
should consider findings representing the full scope of available scientific sources. The
assessment is to be used as a basis for a new Statement on Climate Change that reflects
the current state of scientific knowledge and its uncertainties. This Petition is to be
provided to the membership for comment prior to action by the Council."
